Just turn on TLC and keep a spare empty iLok handy in future, then you never have to worry ever again about posting a dead iLok from Belgium to the USA.

That seems like good value for money for the annual cost of ZDT. You don't need a backup DAW and backup plugins, you'll be up and running again within minutes, whether your iLok is broken, lost or stolen, it doesn't matter.
Nigel and many others here likely know this, but the one reason not to use TLC is you need to be able to keep your iLoks visible to the internet though ILM for the licenses to stay up to date. At least once every 90 days, so not too bad, but in some studio situations that may be something to think about. And if you are super paranoid and you don't trust iLok with their past missteps of remote yanking licenses off people you might keep at least some iLoks permanently offline.
